💛💙🦅 Healthy Choices, Bright Futures!
This past week our 5th grade Eagles welcomed Siouxland District Health for an important presentation about the dangers of vaping and tobacco use.
Students learned about the effects on their health, how to recognize influences, and ways to make healthy choices and encourage others to stay tobacco- and vape-free.
Thank you to Siouxland District Health for partnering with us to help our Eagles make safe, healthy decisions! 🦅

💛💙🦅 Learning, Connecting & Powering Up Together!
Through several days of weekend and district professional development, our Morningside staff joined fellow educators from Unity, Loess Hills, and Perry Creek to learn, connect, and grow together!
From Restorative Practices Foundations with Ali Hearn Consulting to meaningful team connections, laughter, and fun challenges that kept our brains and bodies moving, our educators continued strengthening relationships and building skills to support our students.
Along the way, staff earned Power Up coins and points as we continued to Level Up our learning together! ⚡
Power Up & Stay Energized! 🦅💛💙
